Alonzo Mourning  waited 13 years to win his first NBA championship. Now, the Miami Heat center wants to see what defending a title is like.

Mourning said late Saturday that he intends to return to the Heat next season.

There are still some contract details to be worked out. Mourning has had interest in recent days from several other teams, including the Spurs, but he rebuked that offer and said if he was going to play anywhere, it would be in Miami.
